Sorry, it should have said "PM ME, and take it up with the priest…
Anyway,
Let's keep this factual - Please!
What is the official view of the CoC on these issues.
Even though I know several priests who have accepted the Catholic Baptism and have given only the Holy Chrism, it doesn't mean the CoC officially agr…

None of this makes sense. Most Catholic baptisms are not performed by immersion and are therefore not considered valid by the Coptic Orthodox Church. A Catholic priest i…
Can someone confirm to me whether or not the Coptic Orthodox Church actually believes that the Eucharist IN the Roman Catholic Church IS in fact the real Body and Blood of Jesus Christ??

I think it's a bad idea to use the phone in Church. This is a place where we should keep ourselves calm. If you want to be closer to God, you need to stay away from th…

See Mabsoota,
It seems that we are not using technology in Church for the wrong reasons:
* Because others will get jealous

Does anyone here find it amazing how His Holiness has also memorized Bible verses? OK.. he's the Pope, and its his job.. but we're talking about knowing entire chapters and verses off by heart.
